Original Abstract

It is necessary to know exactly the technical state of structures before any masonry rehabilitation works takes place. It means that it is necessary to investigate physical state of particular structure and properties of building materials. Proper technical investigation includes geometric shape of structure, built in materials, state of surface layers, failures and moisture of masonry. Main property of building materials, which is tested, is compressive strength and according to its results it is possible to classify materials to class and make. For diagnosis of masonry structures we exploit mainly visual evaluation, probe testing, nondestructive methods and in some cases also tests on samples taken from the structure. Important role plays also genesis of masonry materials in particular regions. This knowledge allows informative estimation of built-in materials, in case that it is not possible to carry out any tests on these materials
